Smoker’s wrinkles are a common problem for smoking women. Smoker’s wrinkles are the mimic wrinkles that occur around the mouth caused by the overuse of the lip circular muscle during smoking activities or also others that cause the lips to be arranged in this characteristic way, e.g. drinking through a straw or playing an instrument. The skin around the mouth stretches and is no longer elastic. Smoker’s wrinkles sometimes take the form of unsightly furrows above the upper lip.
Smoking is a habit that is very bad for the skin, as no one needs to be convinced of. It poisons the skin with free radicals, increases grey colouring, roughness and thinning of the skin. Many studies speak of the huge impact of cigarette smoking on skin ageing. Here you can read about studies on the effects of smoking on many aspects of skin ageing. According to these studies, smoking not only accelerates skin ageing, but also causes poorer wound healing, acne, some types of skin cancer and even dandruff and hair loss.
Smoker’s wrinkles – how do they form?
In vitro studies from the above study show that tobacco smoke negatively affects collagen production and increases the production of tropoelastin and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). This causes matrix protein degradation and abnormal production of elastosis material in the skin. Smoking ;cigarettes and exposure to cigarette smoke increases MMP levels, resulting in the degradation of collagen, elastic fibres and proteoglycans. The result of these processes is an imbalance between biosynthesis and degradation in the metabolism of the connective tissue of the skin. Free radicals also play a negative role in skin ageing. Reactive oxygen species scavengers mitigate the induction of MMPs, and this process is missing or impaired in smoking.
Cosmetics for smoker’s wrinkles – TOP5 recommended by Cosmetologist
- Firstly moisturising – smoker’s skin is often chronically dehydrated and dry. The first step in restoring its elasticity and nice appearance should be moisturising the skin. To do this, it can use cosmetics that contain specialised moisturising ingredients and also maintain a high level of hydration in the skin (preventing water loss, improving TEWL). Moisturised skin will have a prettier appearance, wrinkles will be less visible, but this is only the first stage.

- Detox skin – smoker’s skin unfortunately has the added difficulty of removing free radicals. Support is needed to detoxify the skin and support the skin’s normal metabolism. Such a detox is worth combining with a dietary detox, i.e. eating green vegetables and fruits, nuts, seeds.

- Deep reconstruction of elastic fibres and support of the skin’s scaffolding – a valid point for people who have been smoking for a very long time and whose changes are already very visible in the form of deep disfiguring furrows and wrinkles.

- Reduction of hyperpigmentation – An equally negative phenomenon associated with smoker’s wrinkles is skin discolouration, spots and unevenness. These are also due to the excessive action of free radicals and a weaker mechanism of restoration of skin structures. However, this process can be supported by using cosmetics containing.

- Hormonal support in the form of phytoestrogens – smoker’s wrinkles often do not develop until menopause. At that time, the skin is exposed to additional hormonal stresses due to reduced estrogen production. Unfortunately, all imperfections are more visible and annoying.

Smoker’s wrinkles are a serious skin problem, but one with which much can be done. To achieve better results, however, you need a combination of home care and in-office cosmetic or regenerative aesthetic medicine treatments such as biostimulant laser action.
